Elainie Alenkaer Madsen

I am a comparative psychologist, working on cognition and communication in humans and other animals (primates, dogs and wolves). I completed my doctoral thesis at University of St Andrews in 2010, on attention following and nonverbal referential communication in bonobos, chimpanzees and orangutans, and joined the Centre for Cognitive Semiotics that year. Here I am in involved in studies of children and non-human primates' understanding of communicative signs, and a comparative project of low-level imitative abilities (contagious yawning) in children, chimpanzees, dogs, wolves and big cats. Previously, I have worked on dolphin meta-cognition (by means of running an aquatic adaptation of the Sally-Ann-theory of mind test), kinship recognition in primates, and kinship and altruism in humans.
